Oddero Barbaresco Gallina 2015

We had this for dinner this evening and it was delicious.  We had pasta with Marcella Hazan's tomato sauce as base with sauteed mushrooms and a bit of Sicilian castelvetrano olives quartered, yummy.  The Barberesco entered the mouth cleanly, and immediately filled the our mouths with vinious flavors.  The wine is medium bodied, good acidity, lots of fruit flavors.  I think the only surprising thing was it didn't smell of new leather that we expected in nebbiolo.  The wine finished long and very refreshing without any tannic background. Altogether, a pleasing wine.
